MEANS FOR ATTACHING CAPS TO BOTTLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 255,487, dated March 28, 1882.

Application filed June 6, 1881.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HOMER BROOKE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in AttachingUaps to Bottles, of which the following, taken in connection with .the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and accurate description.

My improvement is especially designed and adapted to be used with bottleswhose contents require to he often renewed, and which bottles are provided with a perforated cap for a the purpose of distributing the contents of the forated cap, B, to the interior of which is at tached by a loop, 0, or any other suitable means, a chain or links, 0. The otherend of this chain 0 is secured to the interior of the bottle by recesses or grooves d, into which are sprung the ends of the bar E, to which the chain is fastened in any desired manner. The recesses (No model.)

or groove may be made at any part of the bottle below the neck.

In thespecification of Letters Patent granted to me on the 24th oftMay, 1881, Ihave shown and described and claimed acombination and arrangement of a method of attaching a cap to a bottle by means ofa chain secured to a bar placed in and at the glass neck; but such mode of securing the cap to the bottle I do not claim in the present application.

The advantage of placing the fastening device belowtheneck ofthebottle, asnow claimed, consists in leaving the neck free from the obstruction caused by placing a fastening device directly in the neck of the bottle, as in my pat cut above referred to.

What I claim as new is The bottle A, provided with recesses below its neck for receiving the ends of the bar E, in combination with said bar, the chain 0, and the perforated cap B, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 4th day of June, 188].

HOMER BROOKE.
